Relating to meetings of the board of directors of the Gulf Coast Authority.
HB 3256 amends rules for meetings of the Gulf Coast Authority's board of directors. It allows the board to hold meetings via phone or video call (instead of only in-person), while requiring specific public access details like toll-free numbers and free video access. The bill mandates that meeting materials be available electronically and all virtual meetings must be recorded and shared publicly for at least one year. This directly affects the Gulf Coast Authority's operations and ensures transparency for public participation in board meetings. The changes apply to all board meetings held after the bill's effective date.
